Chapter 116: Join the Army



A week later, Mai Juncai, Mai Liangcai, and Mai Chunni's husband Chen Jiushan all got on the tractor to see Mai Laosan and the others off.

The tractor was also loaded with a full load of luggage.

The three of them followed, firstly to get familiar with the place and make it easier to move around in the future.

Secondly, I also wanted to help, after all, there were so many things to move.

Qian Xiaodao said that the army would arrange beds and wardrobes, so Shen Xingchen packed up everything except these two items, fearing that they would be difficult to buy when the time came.

After all, it’s not very convenient to buy anything these days.

It’s because my family is poor and we don’t have much, otherwise a whole car wouldn’t be able to fit everything.

Shen Xingchen was a little excited. Although he knew that Mai Sui was in training and couldn't come out to see him, being able to be closer to Mai Sui always made him feel different.

Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai looked very proud and asked Mai Juncai to drive slower.

Because many people in the village came to watch the fun, they wanted to show off.

I heard Mai Lao San standing on the tractor and shouting: "Fellow villagers, my daughter won the third-class merit in the army, and now she is going to take me to enjoy life!"

Mai Hongcai was not to be outdone: "My sister's comrades said that there is a canteen in the army, and the things there are better than those in the city.

Not only that, there are also supplies distributed during festivals, and the most important thing is, it’s free! ”

"Hongcai, are you bragging? Niu Er's kid is also in the army, why haven't I heard him talk about this?"

One villager didn't believe it and questioned Mai Hongcai's words in public.

Mai Hongcai immediately retorted: "How can my sister be the same as him? My sister has won the third-class merit. What class of merit has he won?"

"It seems that Niu Er's family has never made any achievements. He has only been there for more than a year and is still a soldier."

"That's it! Do you know how difficult it is to get a third-class merit?"

"I don't know. Then tell me."

"I don't know what you are yelling about, but I am telling you, this is very difficult!

My sister has only been in the army for two months and she has already won a third-class merit. In the future, she will also win second-class and first-class merits. Just wait and see!"

"That's right! My daughter is the reincarnation of a martial arts champion. She will definitely achieve something in the future!

I, Mai Xiangxi, have made a contribution to the country by raising such a wonderful daughter.

I am now a family member of a glorious third-class soldier, and I am different from ordinary military families!"

"That's right! I'm the younger brother of a soldier who won the third-class merit award! When I meet my sister, I'll bring back the medal and let you guys open your eyes."

"Hongcai, let's make a deal, don't forget it!"

"Don't worry, I won't forget it!"

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's set off quickly!" Mai Xiangdong reminded at the right time.

If we don’t set out now, Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai will keep talking all day!

........

Yuan Huayi from the Logistics Department followed orders and waited at the gate of the military district early.

Mai Sui is now a celebrity in their Southeast Military Region, even overshadowing Qi Chuanqing.

The commander, the political commissar, and the chief of staff all admired her.

Others don’t know how this house came about, but everyone in their logistics department knows.

In order to complete the repairs as quickly as possible, they worked overtime, even at night, and took turns to clean it up within the specified time.

Otherwise, Chief of Staff Huang would scold their logistics department for its poor performance.

Yuan Huayi had received the minister's order and came early to wait and make sure that the people were properly arranged.

As soon as the tractor stopped at the gate of the military area, Yuan Huayi took a look at the things on it and guessed that they must be Mai Sui's family.

So he took the initiative to step forward and say hello: "Hello, I am Yuan Huayi from the Logistics Department. Are you the family members of Comrade Mai Sui?"

Before Shen Xingchen could respond, Mai Lao San said, "Yes, yes, I am her father!"

Mai Hongcai also poked his head out excitedly: "I'm her brother!"

Mai Juncai and Mai Liangcai: "We are her brothers!"

Chen Jiushan: "I'm her brother-in-law!"

Shen Xingchen: .....

"I'm her husband!!!"

Yuan Huayi: .....As expected of Mai Sui’s family, their voices are louder than others.

"Ahem, please give me the note from the army, I need to verify it.

In addition, please register at the gate, thank you for your cooperation."

After completing the formalities, Yuan Huayi also squeezed onto the tractor, then gave directions to Mai Juncai and drove them towards the house.

Originally, Yuan Huayi had arranged two young soldiers to help carry the luggage, but seeing that there were so many of them, it seemed unnecessary.

Ten minutes later, the group arrived in front of the bungalow.

Shen Xingchen, Mai Laosan and others were all very satisfied.

The house now looks brand new compared to what it was a week ago.

Not only was the roof re-tiled, the walls were whitewashed, and the yard was cleared of weeds.

Even the corroded fences were replaced with new ones.

The troops work quickly and well, there is absolutely nothing to complain about!

Today, the whole house looks spacious and bright, just like a newly built one, and is many times better than the earthen brick houses in Lianhua Village.

The area is large enough, with four bedrooms, a main room, a kitchen, and a newly built toilet in the backyard.

The yard in front is big enough, except that it is a bit barren and bare. There is no tree or even grass, but it is clean and tidy.

With the level of wheat ears, if normal procedures were followed, it would be impossible for it to be allocated such a large house even if it was a bungalow.

But the situation is special now. There is only one vacant house in the entire military district.

Besides, Chief of Staff Huang has approved it, and the commander hasn't said anything, so their logistics department will naturally not say anything empty words.

Mai Hongcai took a quick look around the house and asked excitedly, "Is this a new house? Is it really for us to live in?"

Yuan Huayi smiled and said, "It's not a new house, it's just been renovated. I hope you like it."

"I like it, I like it, I like it so much!"

"There are some simple furniture in the room. If you need anything else, you can go to the store I just showed you to buy it.

Although it is called a canteen, it is quite large and has everything. It was specially set up by our military region to serve the families of the general public.

If you still have any questions, you can always come to the Logistics Department to find me.

Or you can ask other people in the family compound in front. All the people living in this area are military dependents."

Afterwards, Yuan Huayi introduced to them the military district’s code of life, emphasizing the principle of confidentiality.

As a family member of a soldier and living in a military area, the most basic awareness of confidentiality is still required.

So as to avoid committing taboos unknowingly.

Yuan Huayi also told them that the military zone was very large and they were not allowed to approach any place where there were sentries standing guard at the gate.

After everything that needs to be said has been said, it is time to sign and confirm.

"Then you guys are busy. I'll be leaving first. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to come to me at any time. Don't think it's a bother. Our logistics department is here to serve you."

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Then everyone started moving things and packing their luggage.

During this period, Qian Xiaodao also came over.

He was asked by Mai Sui to deliver some bills she had issued in the past two months to Mai Hongcai.

Why is it Mai Hongcai and not Shen Xingchen?

Of course, it’s because of the family status ranking, Mai Hongcai is second and Shen Xingchen is third.

Now that the boss is away, it is natural that the second-ranked Mai Hongcai will be in charge.

Shen Xingchen: (feeling wronged) (crawling in the dark) (emo) (crying) (my wife doesn’t love me anymore)
